In a recent interview with The Times, Robbie Williams, a founding member of the band, “Take That,” revealed that his weight loss of two stone, which took him from “13 13 pounds to 12 1 pounds”, was attributed to an appetite suppressant “like Ozempic.” “It’s like a Christmas miracle,” he said.
Williams jokingly suggests that she uses the drug because she has been diagnosed with “type 2 self-loathing.” However, he emphasized the severe impact of being overweight on his mental health.
The pop star highlighted the negativity of her inner voice when she’s not in slim shape, stating: “It was a shocking disaster to my mental health to be bigger. My inner voice talks to me like Katie Hopkins talks about fat people. It’s annoying.”

Williams also opened up about her mental health struggles in the latest trailer for her upcoming Netflix docu-series, “Robbie Williams.” Scheduled to premiere on November 8, the four-part show will feature never-before-seen footage and new interviews, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of his solo career. The series delves into his personal archive spanning three decades.
In the trailer, Williams looks back on his journey, admitting the tough times led to a “nervous mental breakdown” in front of thousands of people. He joked: “Something’s got to give. You should only do this at the pearly gates with Saint Peter looking back on your life.
The “Back for Good” singer also discussed the challenges of fame, adding: “I feel like I’m giving away so much of myself that you don’t recognize yourself anymore.”
He continued, “The things that would have destroyed me have also made me successful. Touch the fire, push when it says pull, and see if I can live. I don’t know how easily people recognize me.”

In the past, Williams has been very candid about his ongoing struggles with mental illness, depression, and anxiety. At the height of his fame, he faced one of his darkest periods. From 2006 to 2009, she struggled with agoraphobia, a social anxiety disorder that confined her to her home for three years.
In 2007, he entered rehab after using various drugs, including speed, acid, heroin, cocaine, and an overdose of prescription drugs.
The “Love My Life” singer recently revealed a full diagnosis that includes conditions such as “dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD, neurodiversity, body dysmorphia, hypervigilance, HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) and PTSD.”
He humorously joked about his condition, stating, “And, obviously, I have an addictive personality… I collect everything, like Boy Scout badges.”
Robbie Williams Says Being In Boy Bands Causes ‘Mental Illness’

Williams also expressed his belief that being part of a gang, regardless of duration, can lead to mental health problems.
He cites Take That, the UK’s most famous boy band, which he left dramatically in 1995 and now performs as a trio with the three original members, as a prime example of joining a band at a young age and achieving unexpected success.
He explained: “If you just take Take That as a case study – and all the guys have mentioned this publicly, so I’m not intruding on anyone’s privacy – you have Gaz [Gary Barlow] who became bulimic and agoraphobic and didn’t leave his house, who forgot how to write songs and slept under his piano.”

He continued, “You have Howard [Donald], who thought about killing himself. You have Mark [Owen], which ended in recovery. You have Jason [Orange], who couldn’t hack it and just, like, disappeared. And then you got me. So that’s your case study: something hardens and hardens in those five years — which is the traditional lifespan of male gangs — that causes mental illness. It’s five out of five.”
Williams isn’t the only former boy band member to talk about the challenges of being in a band. Singer Liam Payne also opened up recently about his struggles in the famous boy band One Direction.
